I'm really worried because I've been dealing with breathing issues and pain in my left chest and shoulder for the past four years. I had a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Why am I still experiencing these symptoms? Should I be concerned, or are there other tests I should consider to get to the bottom of this?

View allSo, I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago, and the results came back showing something about bilateral prominent hila and prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means. Is it something serious that I need to worry about? Should I be looking into treatment for it? Lately, I've been experiencing some shortness of breath and breathing issues too. Would love to get some insight on this.
The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.

I'm really concerned because since yesterday I've been experiencing this chest pain on the right side whenever I exhale. It's like a sharp pain whenever I breathe out. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this, and what should I do?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a pulmonary embolism or pleurisy. However, if it is determined to be musculoskeletal in nature, you can consider taking ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area may also help alleviate the discomfort. Remember to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've been feeling a bit worried lately. I got back to my hometown from Pune on March 11th and I've been really careful, keeping my distance from people and not going out since March 20th. But on the night of March 29th, around 11 PM, I started coughing. It's been a couple of days now and the cough isn't getting worse or better, just staying the same. Sometimes I feel like I need to take a deep breath, but it usually passes after a few seconds. Do you think I might have coronavirus?
There are many factors which can cause these symptoms , do RTPCR TEST to get confirm results of covid
